For London cartoonist, JAK BURKE he believes that “art [is] a proletariat force to effect social change.” And, from this artwork bashing the fast food industry, BURKE’s message holds true to his art perspective. This artist isn’t new to the art scene, as he contributed to DNA Magazine, Anchor Books, Gotham Magazine, AOL news, The Daily News–just to name a few. Socially powerful and blunt, JAK BURKE’s no holds barred approach is one that is few in modern artworks.
